Free Immunizations With Super Shot!

Immunization is an important aspect of maintaining good health. It goes beyond benefiting our children; it benefits the entire community by preventing childhood diseases. That is why PHP is committed to this endeavor and proudly sponsors the Super Shot, Inc. program. This program provides free immunizations for children twenty-four days per month at twenty-four different locations.

Click here to visit the Super Shot site, which has schedule information in both English & Spanish, a location map, and an immunization schedule.

"Here is an insurance company that pays for immunizations sponsoring free shots for people. It's amazing" stated Kelly Zachrich, Executive Director of Super Shot. PHP has never wavered in our support of Super Shot by providing almost 50% of their funding as well as employee volunteers. PHP President and CEO Jay Gilbert states, "We believe Super Shot plays an important role in preventing illness by educating and providing immunizations to individuals that may not otherwise have access to preventive healthcare. This program benefits so many and being a part of it is important to us. Wellness and meeting the healthcare needs of the community is what Physicians Health Plan is all about."

Physicians Health Plan congratulates and thanks Super Shot, Inc. for their continuing efforts in the education and distribution of immunizations for children in our community.

It's Free. It's for kids. It's for Life.

Matthew 25

In 1992, through Physicians Health Plan, local doctors created an annual trust fund to support non-profit health-related organizations. The Plan donates $300,000 annually to serve low income, high risk, medically underserved, and elderly persons in northern Indiana.

Matthew 25 Health and Dental Clinic is one of the organizations that receives funding through PHP's Physician Trust Fund. For over 25 years, Matthew 25 has served the medical, dental, and vision care needs of people who are unable to access healthcare through traditional means. Congratulations on a job well done and thank you for working to improve the quality of life in our community!

Safety Village... "If You Involve Me, I Will Learn"

Safety Village/Survive Alive House consists of thirty miniature buildings and a downtown area with sixteen structures. This village, which is located at 7800 S. Anthony Blvd. behind Southtown Mall, provides police and fire educational curriculums free of charge to all area schools, public and private. In addition, summer programs are available and families may visit an open house once a month or by appointment. The Safety Village's sole purpose is "to teach fire and police safety to elementary students so that they might live to become adults."

Physicians Health Plan is the proud sponsor of a Safety Village building. We believe that the education of safety to the children in our community is crucial in the health and wellbeing of our community as a whole, now and in the future.
